Truck Accident Lawyer

You put our minds at ease and took a huge weight off our shoulders. You made it completely painless for us. You taught us that there are caring and honest law firms out there**.”– Phil B.

Being involved in an accident involving a commercial truck or 18-wheeler is often a frightening and traumatic experience. Due to the size and mass of commercial vehicles, truck accidents often produce serious and permanent injuries. These complex accidents require an attorney who has the skill and knowledge to manage commercial trucking claims.

Semi truck accidents are often catastrophic. Serious, disabling injuries are more likely to happen in accidents involving 18-wheeler trucks than in accidents involving passenger cars. Victims of commercial trucking accidents frequently have long hospital stays and months or years of physical therapy, in-home care, and other treatment ahead of them. An experienced truck accident lawyer can be essential in making sure you are compensated fairly for your injuries.

These kinds of treatment place an enormous burden on truck accident victims and their families. The expense of extended medical treatment may throw a household’s finances into chaos. This is especially true if you have reached the coverage limits on your health insurance or if you have no health insurance. The spouse, children, or other relatives of the injured person may have to set aside work obligations to help with their loved ones’ recovery. These lost wages often further strain the family’s finances.

Commercial trucking claims are handled differently than conventional car accident claims. There are usually several parties involved: the truck driver, the operator of the truck, and the company who hired the operator. You’ll have to deal with several insurance carriers, all of whom will do what they can to reduce the amount that they have to pay to you, the injured person.

Trucking companies often pressure their drivers to engage in risky driving behaviors like foregoing sleep and driving at unsafe speeds in order to make delivery deadlines. These companies foster hazardous working conditions that endanger other motorists. Despite this, insurance adjusters often try to use deceptive and manipulative tactics in order to shift blame from their client onto the innocent victim of a trucking crash. Without a personal injury attorney to advocate for you, you may face a denied claim or a settlement that is much too low to cover your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.

Commercial Trucking Accident Attorney

An experienced accident lawyer can help you through the confusing and overwhelming process of negotiation with an insurer to reach a settlement that is fair and reasonable. Don’t let yourself be taken advantage of by an insurance adjuster for a trucking company. Having an attorney who will fight for what is reasonably owed to you can mean the difference between a fair resolution and an unfair outcome. In addition to representing you in negotiations with the insurance adjuster, an attorney can speak to your medical providers and creditors to get them off your back about your medical bills so that you can focus on your health and recovery.

I was referred to Lakota after being involved in a multiple vehicle car accident. Lakota and Jenny were both great to work with, they both were very caring and offered the best advice for my situation. Before speaking with them I was confused about the whole process and what was supposed to happen, Lakota went over each step of the process with me and made sure all of my questions were answered and I understood before I left. I left their office much more confident than I was when I walked in. They are wonderful to work with and I will not hesitate to call them in the future if needed.

Lakota and Jenny are a great pair to work with. Lakota is direct, realistic and honest about the processes needed to take place and I felt secure and confident while working with him. Him and Jenny both have a caring and gentle spirit which was greatly appreciated during a stressful lawsuit. Thank you both so much for everything.

Lakota and Jenny were amazing, going above and beyond in handling my case. They were always very responsive and supportive with any questions I had and made the entire process a breeze, I couldn't be happier with the outcome! Highly recommended!!
